Sharks coach Etienne Fynn was disappointed with the level of sharpness of his players in their Currie Cup 20-10 defeat to the Pumas in Durban on Friday.

Fynn’s men had a poor start to the match at Kings Park Stadium as they trailed the Pumas 17-3 at halftime.The Sharks’ attempts at a comeback in the second stanza were successfully dealt with by the visitors.

“We need to work on basically all aspects of our play, essentially sticking to the plan, but more importantly when you get an opportunity to score we must take advantage of it. Having last played a month ago, Fynn expected some rustiness from his men but he didn’t think it would be so bad. “Our sharpness was lacking, but the season is far from over. We are looking forward to correcting our mistakes and showing all our supporters a very different performance next Saturday.”
